Know before you buy
While the X1 is engineered for professional production and mixing with a flat frequency response, its 32-ohm impedance makes it easy to drive with smart devices. You can certainly use them for casual listening, though the open-back design means they will not isolate you from ambient noise.
Each pair of X1 headphones undergoes individual AI-processed calibration to ensure the frequency response is as accurate as possible. This process minimizes manufacturing variances, providing a consistent, neutral sound stage that helps you make reliable mixing decisions.
Yes, the X1 is designed for longevity. The earpads feature a fast-exchange system, and every component of the headphone is serviceable using standard home tools, allowing you to maintain or repair the unit yourself.
No, you do not need a dedicated amplifier. With an impedance of 32 ohms, these headphones are designed to be efficient enough to perform well directly from standard audio interfaces, laptops, and even mobile devices.
The open-back design prevents pressure buildup and internal reflections, which results in a more natural, spacious soundstage. This allows you to hear spatial cues and frequency balance more accurately, which is essential for critical mixing and mastering tasks.
The X1 weighs 0.8 lbs and features an ergonomic stainless steel headband and artificial leather earpads. The open-back design also helps keep your ears cooler during extended use, though comfort is subjective depending on your head shape and session length.
